It's Halloween in the picturesque village of Sunken Madley, and witch Amanda Cadabra is about to make a disturbing discovery.
A woman lies motionless in the garden of the historic village pub. A mysterious scent of freshly baked bread hangs in the air. A sudden blast of scorching heat. A shuddering thud.
And a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
With seven suspects, a second crime and just three days to make an arrest, Detective Inspector Thomas Trelawney needs Amanda's help.
But the truth lies four hundred years in the past, buried beneath a terrible secret whose consequences still haunt the village.
With her irascible feline familiar at her side, Amanda must risk a journey into the past to uncover what really happened.
But will she survive long enough to return?
Witchcraft, murder, mystery and a generous helping of British humour. The Fatal Flower is the tenth standalone cosy paranormal mystery in the Amanda Cadabra series.
‘A wonderful and captivating series that draws the reader into the weird and wonderful history of England. A fantastic read.’ T. J. Brown, Author of The Unhappy Medium
‘The books are delightful. I both feared for the characters’ well-being and laughed along with them.’
‘Rarely have I enjoyed a book series more’
‘Great stories, great humour.’
Holly's life changed in a day.The journey there began back in 2017 for British author, cat adorer and chocolate lover, A best-selling author friend convinced Holly that she could write cozy mysteries, after many years' experience with non-fiction, photography and video making.
Holly devoured all of the Agatha Christie books long before she knew that Miss Marple was the godmother of the Cozy Mystery. Her love of JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings meant that her first literary creation in this area would have to be a cosy paranormal.
Having derived immense delight from the adventure of writing Amanda Cadabra and The Hidey-Hole and its 9 sequels to date, straddling cozy paranormal and urban fantasy, Holly has more in the pipeline.
Holly Bell is a Bard of the Gorsedh of Cornwall. Her favourite feline is a black cat called Bobby. He is black. Like her favourite hat. Purely coincidental.
